Sports Flooring Tiles
Top 5 Benefits of Foam Floor Tiles for Athletic Flooring
- Excellent shock and impact absorption
- Durable enough to withstand rigorous use
- High density options can withstand the weight of workout equipment
- Easy installation, and portable options are available
Martial Arts Mat Floors
Striking arts, such as Karate, Taekwondo, MMA and boxing, need a specialty flooring that offers both stability and plenty of shock absorption to help keep athletes safe. Foam floor tiles offer that specialized combination of stability, cushion, and shock absorption, making for an ideal martial arts surface. The tiles help to create safer landings, but are firm enough to keep athletes balanced on their feet.
We offer tiles that come in a variety of surfaces that control the amount of grip an athlete has. Some tiles can be used with bare feet, while others are durable enough to withstand shoe and boot traffic.
Most of the tiles intended for the striking arts measure between 7/8 and 1 inch thick. This thickness allows the tiles to provide proper shock absorption to athletes.
If you're looking for flooring for throwing arts, like judo, then you'll need a thicker tile that offers maximum shock absorption. These tiles, starting at 1-1/4 inches thick, are up for the task. They absorb impact but also offer critical fall height protection. These properties help to minimize the chance of injury to an athlete. While you'll find foam puzzle mats in thicknesses ranging up to 1-5/8 inches, our vinyl and denim covered foam floor mats are much thicker and offer the increased shock absorption you need for improved safety.
All martials arts athletes know how painful skin burns can be when you come into contact with a floor. We have tiles that are the perfect solution to that problem. We offer a number of mats with no-burn tatami top surfaces that are designed to prevent friction-induced skin burns. They're suitable for use with the grappling arts, and you'll find them in professional BJJ gyms and amateur grappling tournament circuit rings.
Interlocking foam mats are a great option for aerobics studios where you want a comfortable, safe flooring surface. The tiles are textured, and while they're forgiving, they're also durable enough to withstand the repetitive nature of aerobics training and classes. Foam helps to reduce body fatigue, meaning athletes can work out longer and get more out of each aerobics session.
When it comes to creating an inviting yoga studio, comfortable flooring is a must-have. Our softer interlocking foam floor mats help to relieve pressure on your joints, so each yoga session is both comfortable and enjoyable. While the mats provide plenty of comfort, they also challenge your balance just a little bit. These mats offer anti-fatigue benefits, and can help to make your yoga sessions both safe and enjoyable.
High Density Options
Foam is often used in gyms, too, but the softer foams can be damaged if you put heavy gym equipment on top of the flooring. That's why we offer super high-density EVA interlocking foam mats. These mats are strong enough to support the weight of gym equipment without being damaged in the process. This high-density foam can withstand significant weight, and is even strong enough to be used as portable horse stall flooring.
When it comes to cheerleading, ideal flooring will offer superior impact absorption and rebound. Our specially designed foam floor mats offer these very properties and can help to keep athletes safer during practices and competitions. These mats are available in both carpet and vinyl surfaces, which help to maximize traction while improving athletic performance.
Foam products offer plenty of options when it comes to use in gymnastics facilities. Our foam floor mats offer superior shock absorption and cushion to help keep gymnasts safe. The foam floor mats are designed to be used during activities like tumbling, stretching, skill training, and landings. Additionally, we offer a wide variety of rollout mats, folding mats, octagon mats, and wedge shaped mats that can be used to completely outfit any gym or competition space.
Home Gyms
Looking to create a workout space right in the comfort of your own home? Foam products provide a practical and affordable way to create your very own home gym. Tiles are easy to transport and install, and there's no adhesive needed for installation. If you need to relocate or remove the tiles in the future, all you have to do is pull them up, then reinstall them by fitting the puzzle tiles together.
Our lightweight roll-out personal exercise mats are also a popular option for home workouts and classes on the go. These mats roll up and can be stored away in small spaces. They're useful for cushioning any existing flooring, and are a convenient way to temporarily convert any space in your home into a workout area.
Temporary Flooring Options
If you need to temporarily add cushion or comfort to your flooring, our folding gym mats are convenient and effective. Many of the mats have connector strips along their edges, which allows you to connect multiple mats together for a large, unified surface. Once you're done with the mats, just separate them, fold them up, and store them. They're a practical way to increase the versatility and safety of your gym.
You may also want to consider our carpet topped rollout mats for a temporary flooring solution. The mats are equipped with hook-and-loop connectors, so you can attach the mats together and custom-create your surface. The closures connect together strongly, and the mats won't pull apart while they're in use. Some of the larger mats have a non-skid bottom that also helps to keep them in place, preventing them from shifting during a practice.
Since foam adds cushion, convenience, and versatility to a gym, it's no wonder that it's such a popular option for practices and workout spaces.
Kids' Foam Floor Tiles
Benefits of Foam For Kids' Areas
- Soft and forgiving, foam can transform hard surfaces into kid-friendly areas
- Some foam products offer fall height ratings for increased safety and injury prevention
- Easy cleanup, so spills are no big deal
- Noise buffering and sound dampening properties make for a more enjoyable environment for everyone
The play mats offer many other benefits for kids' spaces. They're waterproof, so its easy to quickly clean up spills. Plus, the tiles are available in a wide range of brilliant colors. You'll have plenty of freedom when it comes to color choice and creating fun patterns or designs that your kids will love.
Additionally, foam play mats help to buffer noise, which can make the rest of your home more enjoyable when kids are playing. The mats also offer valuable insulation against the cold, which is a major advantage when you're creating a playroom in a basement. Foam can help to keep the space more comfortable and warmer in the winter, so your kids will get more use out of the space.
If you're looking for an option that's easy to install and that can serve as a DIY project, foam is the right option for you. There are no adhesives needed, so you can move the tiles around in the future or even remove the flooring altogether. Installing the tiles is as easy as lining the edges up and pushing down on the seams, fitting the tiles together like puzzle pieces. Kids can even help out with installing the flooring for their rooms.
Our Premium 5/8-inch Foam Floor Mat has proven to be the most popular option for kids' playrooms. These mats are available in 15 beautiful colors that kids love, so you can easily make fun patterns or designs. The tiles are easy to clean, and they're very affordable. You can damp mop them in the case of a spill, and the tiles are also waterproof and stain resistant for a great look that's long-lasting. These tiles offer plenty of cushion, but they're also lead and latex free. They're a great option if you want to create a room that's fun, affordable, and safe for your child.
Foam Trade Show Booth Flooring
Benefits of Foam for Trade Show Flooring
- Lightweight, foam tiles are portable and installation takes just minutes
- Durable enough to hold up from show after show while still looking great
- Anti-fatigue benefits help to keep comfort up and stress levels down during each event
- Waterproof and easy to clean, your flooring is low-maintenance

Foam offers anti-fatigue benefits that can help to reduce stress, increase productivity, and prevent injuries, so both clients and staff benefit from this flooring choices.
Choose from trade show tiles in a wide variety of colors and patterns. You'll find everything from the bold to the reserved, so you can create a unique aesthetic for your business. You're sure to stand apart from the other booths and can create a cohesive, beautiful look for your business.

The tiles are easy to install, are waterproof, and can be cleaned quickly. If you don't want to deal with transporting your flooring, you can ship the tiles to show to show via ground service. It's convenient and leaves you with one less element to transport through the show grounds.
Foam Floors for Basements
Benefits of Foam for Basements
- Insulation properties of foam keep your basement floor warm, stopping cold concrete from penetrating up into the flooring
- Non-absorbent foam will not be damaged by moisture if a leak or flood occurs
- Tiles can be pulled up and dried out in the event of a leak, then reinstalled again
If you're worried about moisture problems, or a leak or a flood, then foam is an ideal choice for your basement. These tiles can be easily and quickly removed, so if there's ever an issue, you can pull up the flooring and let your subfloor dry. These tiles won't absorb or be damaged by moisture, so if leaks do occur, your flooring will be just fine.
Keep in mind that foam can be indented by heavy weight, so if you have heavy furniture like couches and chairs, you'll want to place plastic coasters under the legs. Indentations usually heal up over time, but if you leave a heavy piece in place for too long, the damage may be permanent.
Foam Tiles for Horse Trailers and Stalls
Benefits of Foam for Horse Trailers and Stalls
- High density foam can handle the weight of horses while remaining lightweight and easily portable
- Excellent cushion maximizes your horse's comfort and health
- Solid surface makes for easy stall cleaning when you're away from home
- Lightweight design means you can move these mats without assistance, ideal for anyone who travels alone
Rubber stall mats may be highly durable, but they're also dense and very heavy. They're not something that you'd want to pull in and out of your trailer or stalls on a regular basis, and they're really only suitable for long-term use. Interlocking foam mats were designed specifically to be portable, so they're ideal for horse shows, clinics, and overnight trail rides.
Install these mats in your trailer, head to your destination, then pull the mats out and use them as stall mats. When you head home, reverse the process. You don't have to worry about finding people to help you lug heavy rubber mats, especially when it's the last thing you want to do at the end of the day. These mats allow you create a safe, comfortable, forgiving stall and trailer surface for your horse, no matter how far from home you are.
Foam Pool Decking Tiles
Benefits of Foam for Pool Decking
- Excellent traction and slip resistance creates a safe surface
- Forgiving surface is ASTM fall height rated, essential for a high-risk area
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations
Foam pool decking tiles can be used both indoors and outdoors. Peel-and-stick installation makes indoor installations both fast and easy. For outdoor installations, you will need adhesive for the tiles.
Because these tiles are so comfortable and put in a great performance, you'll find them at hotel and school pools, as well as at municipal pools and waterparks.

- Leather textured tiles are comfortable and are meant to be used under bare feet.
- Vinyl wrapped or vinyl-bonded foam tiles hold up well to footwear. Some tiles have a smooth surface, while others have a tatami surface that offers extra traction. Please note: the vinyl tatami-textured surface will not prevent skin burns, unlike the non-burn tatami tiles.
- Pebble top textures create a non-slip surface on super high-density foam tiles.
- Felt grip tops provide the proper amount of traction and comfort for dogs' paws, minimizing slips.
- Some tiles and roll out mats feature carpeted tops. When used on rollout mats, carpeted tops create extra rebound.
- Some foam anti-fatigue mats are available with diamond surface finishes for maximized traction.
Tile Colors
When you shop at Greatmats, you'll have plenty of great tile colors to choose from.
We offer interlocking foam mats in a whole rainbow of colors, including brilliant colors, muted tones, wood grain designer patterns, and more. You can get the exact look that you want your flooring to have with our versatile choices.
The Foam Mats 5/8 Premium tiles are available in 15 different colors. Interlocking foam mats come in several different wood grain and cork patterns, giving them a unique and distinctive look. Many interlocking athletic and martial arts tiles are reversible, some of them featuring different colors on each side. This design allows you to alternate the tiles to create fun patterns.
Size and Thickness
The way that you intend to use your flooring will dictate the size and thickness of the tiles that you will need to purchase. Greatmats offers interlocking tiles ranging from 3/8 to 1-5/8 inches thick, so we have products that can accommodate any project.
Our most popular tiles are 2x2 feet and 1x1 meter in size. Because these tiles are larger, they're favored for commercial installations and professional studios. Their large size allows them to cover significant areas while minimizing the number of seams that are present in the finished flooring. Our smaller 2x2 foot tiles are more suitable for residential use, because they're easy to transport and can easily fit into smaller areas.
The 2x2 foot tiles can ship via ground service, meaning they'll conveniently arrive right at your door. The larger 1x1 meter tiles ship on a pallet via a freight delivery service because of their size.
Roll-out foam flooring is another option that's suitable for larger areas. It allows for a fast installation, and we offer rolled flooring in sizes as small as 5x10 foot rolls, all the way up to 6-foot-wide rolls in custom lengths.
Hardness and Density
You'll want to pay attention to the hardness and density of the foam that you're considering as you shop. These two factors can give you an idea of how the flooring will feel underfoot, and whether it's suitable for your needs.
Foam's hardness refers to how hard or soft the foam feels to the touch, and the hardness is measured in a degree of Shore C. The harder the foam feels, the higher the Shore C rating will be. For instance, our 2x2 foot by 5/8 inch thick tiles measure between 30 and 35 Shore C. They're a softer tile. Our hardest tiles measure between 60 and 65 degrees Shore C.
If you're looking for something that's soft and comfortable, our interlocking foam mats may be just right for you. Some of these mats have undergone egg drop tests in which eggs were dropped onto the mats from heights as great as 68 feet. The mats were so soft that the eggs actually bounced, rather than breaking.
Density isn't the same measurement as hardness. Instead of measuring how the mat feels underfoot, density measures the mass of the mat in comparison to its weight. The density of a mat specifies the ratio of the amount of material when compared to the air in the tile.
Hardness and density both relate to the overall quality of the foam that you're purchasing.
Thermal Insulation
When placed on concrete or wood, foam acts as an insulating layer. This is very beneficial if you're working in a basement, since the foam will feel warm even when the temperature of the floor beneath it is cooler. The foam remains comfortable to walk on, even during the winter.
You can also pair foam with in-floor heat. The tiles may keep some of the heat from traveling into the room, but the in-floor heat will remain functional - just a bit less effective with the foam in place. Foam has a minimal R-value, so it's safe to use on top of concrete paired with in-floor heating.
Foam Tile Pricing
You'll find that foam products' pricing will vary depending on the tile's size, versatility, and materials. Our most economical products are a bit thinner than the more expensive products. If you're limiting your options to the lower-priced products, you'll have fewer options in terms of available installation methods and how you can use the products.
Our 5/8-inch thick foam rolls without a finished surface are the most affordable option, coming in at just under $1 per square foot. Our 1/2-inch-thick puzzle mats with limited color options are also available in that same price range.
If you increase the price a bit, our wood-grain patterned and color option interlocking foam tiles enter the picture. Additional thickness and surface texture options also become available. Puzzle mats up to 1 inch thick cost less than $2 per square foot, and are very affordable. Tiles with tatami, leather, pebble, felt, or smooth surface textures are also in this $2 per square foot price range. Other options, like varying hardness foams and tiles that measure up to 1x1 meter in size are also in this price point.
Within the $3 per square foot price range, thickness choices increase to 1-5/8 inches. The sizes of the mats increase, and roll-out carpet tile mats also become available. You'll see carpet topped foam floor tiles within this price range, too.
With a step up into the $4 per square foot range, our vinyl topped roll out mats become an option. In the $5 per square foot price range our folding mats and heavy-duty 1x2 meter vinyl wrapped foam floor tiles enter the picture. At the $6 per square foot point, you'll see additional options such as padded athletic vinyl rolls for athletic courts.
Some of our other products, like outdoor pool decking, crash pads, stage mats, and personal exercise mats, are available at prices of more than $6 per square foot.
Foam Flooring Installation and Maintenance
Foam floor mats and tiles are designed to be easy to install, and you can even make the installation process into a DIY project. Tiles fit together just like puzzle pieces, so installing them is as easy as lining up the edges and pushing the tiles together. For a wall-to-wall installation, you can use a sharp utility knife to cut the tiles to fit.
To cut the tiles, lay a board beneath the foam so that your cuts don't damage your subfloor. Using repeated, shallow scores, gradually cut through the tile. If the tile starts to fray, you'll need to replace the blade in your knife.
How To Clean Foam Floor TilesFoam is popular for many reasons, but one of the greatest benefits is that foam is easy to clean. Spills and dirt can be wiped or swept away, making tiles a great choice for kids' areas. Cleaning foam is simple and easy.
- Vacuum the floor using a non-power head vacuum.
- Mop the floor with a damp mop, warm water, and household floor cleaner.
- Use a sponge and scrubby for any necessary spot cleaning.
- Clean large areas with a walk behind auto cleaning machine.
- Allow the floor to dry.
Floor Planner
As you plan out your project, don't forget to use the Greatmats Online Pro Floor Planner. This online tool can help you to lay out your room's design so you can tell how much of a particular product you'll need to order. There's nothing worse than getting partway through an installation to find you didn't order enough product, and this planner can help you to prevent that from happening. It also helps to minimize the amount of wasted product, and shows you the best way to lay out the flooring.

"Explore Your Future" DVR Camp at CWC
During June 19-22, 10 students took part in a college-transition camp through the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. The "Explore your Future Camp" exposed students to what it is like to live in a college dorm and eat in the food court. They also took part in a campus tour, learned how to be an advocate for themselves, took at tour of Wind River Job Corps, and learned about college funding opportunities. During some of the sessions, the students went through career exploration activities and spent time learning about a variety of major options at CWC. The students also did a variety of team building activities such as a scenic float in Thermopolis, archery tag, and more. Michael Cheek and Anne Even with the Business, Technical, and Workforce Department were contracted by Department of Vocational Rehabilitation to design and facilitate this project. The students were from Lander, Riverton, Pavillion, Casper, and Cody.

Social Media Guidelines, One Year Later
A year ago, we pulled together a team at EDF to create our social media guidelines. The all-time most popular post on this blog tells how and why we did it, so I thought I'd share an update.
The best news is that it they seem to be working. They're part of our new employee and intern orientation materials. Since we released them, we have not had any social media disasters big enough that I've heard about them!
Last week, spurred by conversations at the NTEN conference, we revisited the guidelines. While we did make a few small updates, I'm happy to report that overall they have aged well. And they should continue to — we made them not specific to particular tools, and grounded them in EDF's general guidelines for conduct and communications.
In talking with people about the guidelines at the conference, Lauren Guite, who worked on the guidelines with me, heard lots of questions about mixing personal and professional presences. Here are her thoughts:
For a 30-something who has been involved in social media for over a decade, defining the very thin, fuzzy line between work and personal use on social networks is common sense. But for others, it's a big enough concern to keep them off (and sometimes skeptical) of the social web.
You might also be dealing with the other extreme. Those who've grown up with social media and mobile phones are used to overexposure. For these people, the line might not exist.
When we wrote our guidelines, navigating these issues was a top concerns, so we tackled the personal-professional split head-on:
- Our first section addresses the professional side — representing EDF in social media. Key points include what approvals are needed before posting (not many) and how to identify yourself as an EDF employee.

Thank you to National ASDA for choosing to highlight our chapter's progress during 2016's Advocacy Month!
"The Progressive Chapter– Louisiana, ADPAC event
As the Freshman Senator chapter, Louisiana is just getting started, but is already on the fast track to becoming an advocacy powerhouse. At their event, the chapter welcomed Dr. Stephen Ortego, ADPAC representative from the ADA 12th district, to speak about the importance of political advocacy. The chapter set up a booth outside the lecture hall to encourage students to join ADPAC and take their picture with ASDA advocacy-themed signs."

Japanese carmaker Subaru recently took their popular Forester crossover for a mid-cycle refresh just in time for their attendance at the 2016 Bangkok International Motor Show. What they came up with was the same 5-seater sporty vehicle, but with distinctive minor changes to spice things up a notch.
Subaru made some noticeable retouches on the exterior, particularly the front end. Aside from the restyled daytime running lights (DRL) which are in line with the Subaru's global branding, the grille's hexagon shape is also more evident with those bolder chrome outlines. The lower bumper air intake has a lot more detail as well. In addition, both flanks of the bumper are now dotted with DRLs both for form and function.
Off to the side, the motif remains as is, except for the chrome lower door accents. Subaru has also fitted the revamped Forester with a set of new-look 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The spider web-like spokes were replaced by a much more linear design. As for the rear end, it's the tail lights that have been given a fresh new look.
Much of everything inside this Forester is an all too familiar sight. Except for some very minor retouches on the trims, amenities like the touch screen infotainment system, Harman/Kardon audio, and an assortment of storage compartments are kept as they were.
For safety, this one retains all the protective features from the current model. These include SRS airbags (7 of them), the ring-shaped reinforced frame, cabin-protecting layout, and an array of sensors that monitor the vehicle's behavior on the road and kick in when necessary.
The tried and tested 2.0L 4-cylinder Subaru boxer engine is still there, along with the Lineartronic CVT. These provide movement for the Forester's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with Active Torque Split. This time though, all these, including the suspension have been slightly tweaked to improve responsiveness and driving dynamics.
These are some of the notable updates that Subaru has in store for the Forester. As of the moment, there's still no concrete word of its local launch. But chances are high that Motor Image Pilipinas, Inc. (MIPI) will bring it in real soon, during the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) maybe?
In the meantime, the current Forester model is still here. For more of Subaru Philippines, visit the AutoDeal Car Guide.

Americold is expanding, adding an $80 million, 140-foot-tall freezer that will bring 70 new jobs to Rochelle.
The company broke ground this week on its new facility, a frozen food warehouse and distribution center with an automated storage and retrieval system, marking its second addition since coming to this Ogle County city in 1995.
It will be attached to the warehouse at 1010 Americold Drive and create an additional 57,600 pallet positions for storage.
"It is a game-changer when a company integrates advanced technology into its operations. Rochelle is proud to be home to another one of Americold's automatic storage and retrieval system distribution centers," said Jason Anderson, director of the Greater Rochelle Economic Development Corp.
The project is scheduled to be complete by the end of next year, and the company's footprint will total more than 33.5 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics space.
"Americold's decision to expand in Rochelle is proof again that we are the Midwest hub for frozen food distribution; we appreciate their continued reinvestment in the city of Rochelle," Mayor Chet Olson said in a news release.
Increasing the company's storage capacity will allow them to take on more business in the Chicago area, Americold President and CEO Fred Boehler said.
"Working with some of our key partners, we identified the opportunity to update and expand our campus just an hour east of Chicagoland, and to offer both automated and conventional storage and distribution options," Boehler said.

text: Made up for falling last time out – nice call from Oliver! Original quote: "Minella On Line runs in a novice handicap chase over 3m 1f. Minella won on his first start for me here at Plumpton, that was over 2m 3f and I don't see why he would not get the extra six furlongs today. Minella is a horse with a ton of ability but is annoyingly flippant with his jumping. We have worked hard on his schooling, which I might add has always been good at home, to try and get him to "cop on". Minella has talent, he often worked on the gallops with Many Clouds, he is a big good looking horse that is easy to deal with at home. Royal Salute the clear danger, but if his jumping holds up then should be bang there. "

Initiative Urges Public to
PsA is a painful and debilitating chronic condition that affects up to 1 million Americans, but this number may be higher given the disease is often misdiagnosed and underreported. In fact, the prevalence of PsA is higher than the number of people living with more well-known, serious conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) combined. PsA may impact patients' mobility in their daily lives; at the most basic level, some are unable to walk easily or climb stairs.
"People living with PsA often share that, in addition to their physical
symptoms, they feel isolated and alone. This is often because PsA
impacts people who don't yet have peers facing serious or long-lasting
health conditions - so they do not know who to turn to for support."
The Be Counted! campaign aims to reinforce that PsA is a disease people should understand because of its significant prevalence and the distinct way it impacts the body and those living with it. Insights from PsA patients, advocates, and rheumatologists show the profound impact of living with a misunderstood disease and the importance of community, treatment, and disease management. People are encouraged to show their support by viewing the videos at PsACounts.com and sharing on their social channels, leveraging the power of their online network to increase awareness of PsA. The site also features a map demonstrating how awareness is increasing across the country by counting video views.
"There is no cure for psoriatic arthritis, and that's why it's so
important for those connected to the disease - including advocacy
groups, healthcare providers, and patients - and the general public to
work together to create an environment that supports the PsA community
and helps them to manage their disease," said
"There are treatments to help manage symptoms of PsA. People with PsA
should speak with their doctor about their condition," said Renae R., a
psoriatic arthritis patient. "However, I continue to struggle with
others' misperceptions of the disease. I am so excited that
"Celgene believes that addressing the needs of people living with PsA
requires patients to have not only access to different treatment
options, but also a better understanding of the disease and its impact,"

It does not matter which party is in power. Whether it is Democrats or Republicans who control the Presidency or Congress, their policies concerning immigration ARE THE SAME.

This is not to say the white protesters in Charlottesville are all nice people , but to say that the counter protesters ARE A LOT WORSE and a greater danger to American society and the Trump administration.

But they fail to lay any blame…Continue

Cricket accepts that life is transient and change is inevitable; she just needs a survival guide for getting through it.
Ready or not, change happens. It's time to choose a college (home or away?) and decide what to do about Janssen, her longtime boyfriend. Having initiated a tentative breakup, Cricket's unsure where to go next. Jupiter, the family's aging, beloved dog, is slowing down. Cricket welcomes her mother Daisy's imminent remarriage. But as friends and family—including former spouses—gather on an island off the Washington coast, tensions arise. Fractured relationships have jagged edges. Change is Daisy's refuge, and Cricket worries that she's looking for an escape route. Smart, likable Cricket is supported by a surfeit of colorful characters and plenty of action. Still, this is a contemplative romance (think chicklit for eggheads). It has a slow, elegiac feel even as it covers a lot of ground—canine-human bonds and loyalty, courage and crutches, the nexus of love and desire. Timid plotting, an insensitive sexual-orientation subplot and the awkward, semi–high-concept narrative device—Cricket's letters to Janssen telling him "their" story—are weak points.
Still, Caletti's exceptional insight into and compassion for her characters more than compensate. Adrift in a world where only impermanence is permanent, they remain hopeful, loving what they know can't last. (Fiction. 12 & up)

Great Plains Young Professionals Summit Returns to Grand Forks
Grand Forks, ND – Greater Grand Forks Young Professionals (GGFYP) are enthusiastically setting the stage for an informative and entertaining leadership summit to be hosted in the northern Red River Valley on July 27-28, 2017.
The Great Plains Young Professionals Summit was last hosted by GGFYP in 2014, and the North Dakota Young Professionals (NDYP) are excited to return to Grand Forks for a rich networking and professional development experience.
NDYP focuses on attracting, retaining and engaging individuals that are 21-41 years old.

Leonard Hankerson has said that he is ready. Mike Shanahan has said that Hankerson is ready.So wheres Hank?He has been seen doing some work at OTAs but it has consisted mostly of doing some conditioning and tossing a ball around off to the side. He has yet to step in with the full offense and catch some passes from Robert Griffin III.Hankerson has been limited during offseason activities as he is recovering from a hip injury that he suffered on Nov. 13 last year against the Dolphins. At first they tried to rehab the injury without surgery. However, in mid February it was determined that he was not making sufficient progress and the decision was made to conduct a procedure to repair the injury.All reports have been positive since then. When asked about Hankersons after last Thursdays OTA, Shanahan said, The hip is healed. Weve got to get him back into football shape but hes working extremely hard.
But he cautioned against Hankerson working too hard. We dont want to overdo it so we dont set him back. But the hip is healed.That is the dilemma that the team faces with Hankerson. There are just six practices left in the offseason program, three OTAs this week and next weeks three-day minicamp. He desperately needs the work, especially since the NFL lockout wiped out the offseason prior to his rookie year.But on the other hand, they really need him healthy when training camp starts on about July 26. Having Hankerson not fully participate in the remaining six practices would be a minus; if he practices, has a setback, and misses a good chunk of training camp, that would be a disaster.The Redskins suffered a lot of injuries last year but the one to Hankerson may have been the worst. After getting off to a bumpy start with troubles hanging on to the ball in training camp, he was inactive for the first five games of the season. In the Miami game, he was having a breakout performance with eight receptions for 106 yards before getting injured. Hankerson missed six weeks of practice and six games worth of development. That is work that Hankerson, who has a lot of rough edges that need to be smoothed out, could have used.

Today is Family Fun Day, which means I participate in an annual ritual wherein the Rockamatics let me embarrass myself by singing a couple of Stones tunes in front of a crowd of (mostly) Mormons.
I always post these on Facebook, but I don't think I've ever put one up on the blog before. So that ends NOW!

Hello and welcome to JENNIFER MEDHURST.
I started my health journey as a result of being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a disorder with the nervous system also know as CFS/ME. The illness had a devastating effect on my life. I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without having to take a 2 hour nap, I slept for 14 hours a day, had constantly aching muscles, sore joints, dizziness, unbearable stomach issues, constant headaches and the list goes on. I tried everything conventional medicine had to offer for almost 3 years with little effect on my symptoms, and in some cases the symptoms actually got worse. I was desperate, and would try anything that could potentially help.
One day by chance a friend asked me if I had ever seen homeopathic doctor. Something which until that point I had never considered. So I went to see one. The doctor recommended I cut out yeast and sugar for one month, and then return to see him. After a week of painful headaches and all over general aching, my symptoms started dissipating, and within one month the ailments of 3 years had largely gone. I was completely shocked. How had diet had such a powerful effect on my health? I began researching nutrition and natural healing approaches, then started formulating a new way of eating, this time with health in mind. I gave up anything processed, which was a pretty drastic change for me. While I ate some fruits and vegetables before, my diet mainly revolved around pizza, cheese and ham toasties, Branflakes and an unstoppable craving for banoffie pie and strawberry cheesecake (although for most of my life I had never had a sweet tooth).
Prior to my illness I never took any interest in cooking, and would happily eat ready meals, or ready anything! One of the most shocking things about my recovery was discovering how much sugar and total rubbish generally is in pre-packaged food. I had never thought to turn the packet over and look at what was actually in the food. Everything you see on this website is as a result of my learning and healing process. I taught myself how to cook and as a consequence there have been a lot of failed experiments, but hopefully you'll agree some successful ones too. I understand that a change in diet can be quite daunting first. But as you get stronger and feel better I hope you will relish the challenge of being able to help your body work at its best. This journey has been, and still is, about learning to give my body the love it needs to feel the healthiest and happiest I can. I've learnt so much through this experience and am keen to share the information with whoever will listen! It's my way of turning something negative into something positive. If I can help just one person feel better then this is a success. More than anything I want this website to show how easy and delicious healthy food is. When I first started eating for health I found a lot of the recipes pretty boring and tasteless or extremely complicated and expensive. I also felt strongly that you should still be able to indulge from time to time, so I wanted to eat in a way that supported my body so that I could still have the occasional burger or glass of wine and not feel terrible for it. Although you will find in time your cravings for the 'naughty' things go away and you actually want the things that are good for you! Still I didn't want aspirational I wanted realistic. It's all about training your body for the life you actually lead not the one you think you should. I knew this was the only way I would create a sustainable change. So I set about finding quick, simple, tasty recipes that would provide maximum nutritional punch so my body could cope with all the demands I wanted to place on it. This website is the culmination of what I found out, and continue to find out. CFS cannot be treated by diet alone, but it's a great starting point.
I graduated from Bristol with an LLB in Law in 2009, after which I worked in Health and Fitness PR before spending a year abroad studying nutrition, and now live in London working on my website as well as with some amazing health brands, so I can be in the best place possible to help make sure you know all the wonderful things that are happening in the health industry.

text: Has anyone got the Chrono Trigger Prophet's Guile patch working on their DS? I'm using an Acekard 2 and SNEmulDS v0.6 and haven't had any luck so far. I've tried different rom images and tried the headered and unheadered patches on both. I've also tried using SnesDS with no luck. Whats happens is that it starts up and then gives me the first screen (with the writing on it) and then I hit A and it goes black but it starts playing music. After that it doesn't respond and I have to reset my DS. On SnesDS I don't even get the title screen or music, it just turns white and thats it. I tried searching the forums with no luck either. Any help would be much appreciated.

On an Empty Shore
Estelle showed me a history book not so long ago. Normally I didn't bother looking at them but this one was interesting. It was about boats and the history of Cape Town. This place used to be called the Tavern of the Seas and over hundreds of years people used to stop here to pick up supplies.
I didn't tell her that all I remembered was occasionally helping Korean or Filipino sailors find less than legal narcotics while they were on shore leave. They sometimes helped me out with cash which I could use to buy more heroin.
It blew my mind when I saw pictures of Woodstock that used to be a beach. The area today was just a wasteland of old industrial buildings and no one went there much because of the gangs. Guess some things didn't change much, with or without zombies. All that land got reclaimed. I had no idea that most of the Foreshore used to be under water. Amazing stuff.
I never went down to the sea when I was a warmblood yet for some reason I was drawn there after my change. Some evenings I'd walk through Green Point to the promenade. There was a slipway that the fishermen sometimes used to launch their boats in the old days. The doors at the bottom were never locked, and the cove was sheltered and a perfect place to poke around in rock pools.
The sea had all sorts of moods. When it was winter, it got really exciting because then the surf would be big and sometimes the breakers would explode against the concrete in a huge wash of foam. I got soaked plenty like that. I didn't feel the cold but there was something very cool and scary about not knowing whether the next wave would drench me.
The Atlantic was like a hungry beast, big and powerful. I liked playing with the danger that it could devour me, suck me off the rocks. One night the only reason it didn't was because I got wedged in a crevice. Had to wait between rushes of water before I got to a safer distance from the worst of it. The rocks were like black teeth sticking out of the tidal pools. Death to both warmbloods and vampires if you got mashed on them. Many times zombies washed up there and got stuck and I chopped them into bits just for the hell of it.
At low tide I sat and the rock fish nibbled at my toes or I poked at the sea anemones. It felt weird but kinda nice the way they contracted over my fingers. It made me think of times when I'd been a little kid full of sand, only it was hot and ma made me wear a hat. I could almost taste the ice cream.
But there was one night I walked a lot farther along the rocks to where the sand started. I didn't know what had drawn me out until I saw the long black shape lying on the sand. It was a whale―a very small whale but still a whale. The first I'd ever seen. Once I'd heard on the radio that they beached themselves and I suppose this was a similar situation.
When I looked I saw it wasn't just one but seven of them and they lay there on the sand, their skins drying out. I could almost feel their sadness and their pain. They were dying and there was no one to help them.
I didn't want to leave them there. My eyes felt very tight and so did my chest, though I didn't need to breathe. Moving them wasn't an option. They were too big except for one that was only slightly longer than I was tall.
I tried, okay? I really tried. I managed to shift the little one closer to the water. It helped also that the tide was coming in and I loved the way its black skin glistened the moment it got wet.
It was slippery in my arms and started to struggle when the waves broke over it. I don't know for how long we fought each other and the waves. Eventually I was waist deep in the breakers that kept washing over my head. It's okay, it's not like I could drown but it was difficult keeping my footing.
We got out quite far and it was almost impossible for me to hold onto it.
"Go back to the sea," I told him.
For a while he just flopped about in the water. I had to hold him so his blowhole pointed above the surface otherwise he just sank. Then he started swimming. Wow! I whooped and clapped then a wave knocked me over.
The little whale swam a short way along the shore.
Then I swore. He turned himself back at the beach and another big wave came and he just swam with it to beach himself on the sand again. I screamed at him, tried to tug him back out to the water. I tried another five times and it was close to dawn and I was as cold as the sea when I realised there was nothing I could do. The little whale was as tired as I was.
I couldn't tell if it was the sea that was so salt in my mouth or if I tasted my tears. I hadn't cried in a very long time but I got out of the water and stood there for a long while and stared at the terrible scene. Three of the whales had already died. Two were close to death. If I'd a gun I could have shot them so they wouldn't suffer. Instead I did what I could. I went back to where I'd left my things and got my blade. I finished the whales so that they wouldn't hurt anymore. Dark hot blood gushed onto the sand and bathed my hands and feet in great, iron-rich fountains.
I couldn't bring myself to drink it.

We provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment in which addicted boys from Michigan advance academically and behaviorally. They will also learn valuable life skills, build character, and create healthy relationships with others. Addiction therapy here seeks to identify underlying reasons for the re-occurrence of inappropriate behaviors and addictions. We utilize adventure-based therapy, a proven curriculum, and ongoing individual and group addiction counseling. As a result of these therapies, students replace their old ways of thinking and behaving with a new sense of drive and positivity.
For most students who enter our program, harmful behaviors are driven by the substances they are abusing, from alcohol and marijuana to harder illicit drugs. Regardless, they have given in to unhealthy and extremely damaging methods of coping with life. Drugs or alcohol and adrenaline-seeking behaviors have become the boy's coping mechanism for handling the ordinary stresses of life. Once the addictions are under control, we introduce each boy to new, better ways of coping with struggles.
Spiritual principles such as honesty, integrity, and compassion are also taught to the boys and modelled by peers and staff. Boys are encouraged to trust God and seek His purpose in their lives. When students grab ahold of these concepts, the obsession with drugs and alcohol will be removed and they will be free to resume lives as happy, productive members of society.
If your boy is struggling with substances and/or behavioral troubles, we can help turn his life around. Although we are not located in East Lansing, Michigan, it is best for a boy to be removed from his negative peer influences in his home city, so the distance is a plus. At this program, he will learn how to overcome his struggles and build healthy relationships. For more information about this Christian rehab for teens, located in Arkansas, please contact us.
As the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been helping families for more than 40 years. We feel that centering our program on Christ is the reason countless teenagers have realized deliverance from addictions here, even where other rehab programs have failed.
After successfully finishing our Christian rehab, boys go back home with a strong aftercare program to continue their positive growth. Aftercare is included without added cost in our normal tuition package.
Academics mean a great deal to us, because we find that education is critical for future success. Within our private Christian school with fully accredited classes, students complete courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to assist those who need it. Credits earned can easily transfer to public or private schools at home. Boys may also study basic vocational skills like woodworking, basic electrical, construction and carpentry, shop skills, basic automotive, and more. After completing our rehab, boys may decide to continue their classwork at home through the online Alpha Omega Academy that we use.
Many teens have put their lives back on track and have gone on to make an impact for Christ after successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We would love to talk with you to determine if our boarding school is a good option for your son. Whether you choose Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, a school in East Lansing, Michigan, or another alternative, we hope your family can experience the restoration that Christ can bring. Please read the rest of our website and use our inquiry form or call us today.
We are glad you chose to look at our Christian rehab for teenage boys as you search for a rehab or addiction treatment center in or around East Lansing, Michigan.

Anyone else getting random lock-ups?
And I do mean lock-ups (as in, complete lock-ups - no possibility to alt-tab out, ctrl-alt-del out or manually power down the PC - I have to use the I/0 switch at the back when it happens), and I do mean random, as in it happens to me without reason at any point in SiN Episodes.
The weird thing is, the first time I played, I didn't get any until I reached the trainyard (now to describe the precise moment without screenshots - the one when you go down to a small beach, just before coming back up behind a fence which is opposite the access to that beach - this whole thing is virtually on the doorstep of the warehouse that houses the access to the U4 labs, if people know what I mean) and then it mysteriously stopped crashing inside Supremacy Tower. The second time I played, I started getting these right off the bat - the first time was in Emergence, just after Jessica helps Blade off the operating table. In other words, it's not location specific - which means it isn't the U4 bug that survived for some reason or another. I've also checked the rest of the known issues and the random crashes stickies, and I'm clear as far as those are concerned, which is why this is so weird.
Anyway, these lock-ups usually happen after five to ten minutes of play and, as I said, are complete lock-ups. It may be something in game causing these (like a texture or shader, or something), since they appear to be totally random. That, or it's my sound card drivers - doubtful, since the latest drivers for it on the official website appear to be from 2003, and I have the drivers that with the card, which was manufacture in 2005.
I have a DxDiag log handy, if needed (unfortunately, I doubt it'll be much help, since it says everything is green). The only two solutions I see are deleting the .gcfs and ClientRegistry.blob and redownloading Emergence, or finding out if my drivers don't have a problem, but I figured if it were something else, this would be the best place to find out.
System specs: PIV 3.4GHz; 1Mb RAM; GeForce 6600. Anything else info-wise that's needed I can probably provide if you tell me how (I'm not exactly a tech champion). In any case, I can copy-paste the DxDiag.txt in here if needed (didn't do it because it's miles long and as I said, tells me nothing other than the fact that everything works fine).
Edit: yes, the sound loops when it happens. Valve have a troubleshoot page for that issue, so I'll toy with that and report back.
Edit²: I've apparently managed to solve the problem. To all those who have a likewise issue, I would advise you to do what Valve advises: apparently, this was due to a conflict between my PCI soundcar (Sounblaster Live!) and the Realtek AC97 I have on my motherboard. I deleted the drivers for the latter and disabled it in the BIOS, and it may have solved my problems. All I know is that I played for twenty minutes and didn't freeze this time around.
Edit³: nope, never mind that. I just had another lock-up, just after opening the cargo bay. I guess it's time to go driver hunting, and then I'll just have to try deleting the files and redownloading.
Another edit: just played through the MINERVA mod for HL2, without any lock-ups. This leads me to believe it isn't a Source issue, but rather a problem with SiN Episodes itself. I'll try the delete .gcfs approach.
